I am a friendly, open, and caring counsellor, and where it feels helpful I bring a splash of humour. I am not a blank canvas; I show up as a real person in the room, which many clients find comforting and grounding. You will be met with acceptance, whatever you bring, and over time counselling can help you become more accepting of yourself, often leading to greater ease, connection, and happiness.

I am often drawn to working with people who have a deep wish to understand themselves and others more fully, to gently shift the way they relate, and to improve their relationships with themselves and with those around them. The issues we explore can be wide-ranging and are always led by what feels most important to you.

My work is informed by psychodynamic thinking and Polyvagal Theory. Psychodynamically, we explore how past experiences, early relationships, and unconscious patterns may still be influencing how you feel and relate today. Polyvagal Theory helps us make sense of how your nervous system responds to safety, stress, and connection. Together, we may gently notice emotional and bodily responses, supporting you to feel more settled, regulated, and able to stay present in your life and relationships.

This kind of work often benefits from being undertaken over a longer period of time. Having the space to build trust, feel truly understood, and allow patterns to emerge naturally can lead to deeper insight and more lasting change. I work actively and thoughtfully in sessions, using conversation and, where helpful, creative approaches to support understanding.

As our therapeutic relationship strengthens, I may gently and safely challenge patterns that feel stuck and introduce ways of working that support growth, regulation, and meaningful change — always at a pace that feels right for you.
